5 Art Club Games That Bond Students and Boost Creative Energy (Ep. 3)

You won’t believe it, but the key to boosting morale and completing successful art projects is not more art supplies—it’s team building.

We know that team-building activities and icebreakers can make you cringe. But they’re still around because they work! In the third episode of Art Club Unlocked, K-8 art teacher Jessica Stuver and secondary art teacher John Szablewski present a full lineup of games designed for creative students who may be on the introverted side. Plus, they provide a practical guide for recruiting and retaining great adult volunteers!

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• Living Artworks: an immersive art history game, sure to appeal to your theater students
• Art Game Show: an improv-style game with leadership roles
• Mystery Bag Challenge: a small group activity where introverts thrive (and it cleans out your closet!)
• Exquisite Corpse: a Surrealism activity that requires zero talking
• Word Art Self-Portraits: a reflective artmaking opportunity to build community on day one
• And more!
